Holding the folded document, Changsheng watched alone as Gu Xizhou and Su Jiaoniang walked out side by side, with Xiaoya and Futu following closely behind. He was all alone in the bleak autumn wind, striving to do his work and enrich himself.

That's a bit tragic!

Changsheng felt his eyes were a little sore.

As he closed the door, Changsheng suddenly felt an urge to get a dog. With a dog, he might not be so lonely.

After thinking for a moment, he took the books and headed to Dr. Liu's house. He was an orphan, and Dr. Liu was also an elderly person living alone. Getting together could ease the atmosphere.

However, Dr. Liu was a busy man and couldn't be bothered with immortality at all.

He held a lamb and applied his latest research drug to it. If the lamb did not reject the drug and could continue to live, he would apply to have someone apply to continue the experiment on death row prisoners.

People with ambition always have unusual hobbies.

With a smile and anticipation, I took the knife and cut open the outer layer of meat on the lamb leg.

The bleating became pitiful and terrifying.

He couldn't continue studying immortality, nor could he stay there any longer.

He wasn't a research fanatic or a pervert, and he couldn't quite accept what he was seeing.

...

Upon entering the Lu family home, Su Jiaoniang felt a strong sense of repulsion. Although the original owner's soul had long since dissipated, this body still retained the original owner's habits. Approaching this place would cause her body to secrete certain hormones, making her feel repulsed.

This reflex, formed by prolonged stimulation, requires her to gradually adjust and overcome, and to fully reclaim her body.

Make every inch of muscle and every strand of hair obey her.

Fu Tu held Xiao Ya's hand. Everyone in the courtyard was filled with malice and looked on with amusement. If he didn't keep a close eye on Xiao Ya, he would regret it to death if his sister was bullied.

Su Jiaoniang noticed Futu's care for Xiaoya and a smile appeared on her lips.

Most mothers want to see their children live in harmony and happiness.

There were quite a few people in the Lu family courtyard.

There were also several young scholars dressed in Confucian robes, who stood beside Lu Daishu chatting and laughing, looking like they were giving orders.

Su Jiaoniang also saw Lu Dashan standing in the corner.

At this moment, Lu Dashan was surrounded by several thugs. Some of them looked familiar. Su Jiaoniang had a good memory and recognized them at a glance as the ones who had followed Lu Dashan at the market yesterday.

Do they know each other?

What good can come from hanging out with thugs? Birds of a feather flock together.

Moreover, Lu Dashan's expression seemed rather unpleasant, indicating that a dispute had occurred. On such a joyous occasion, if a dispute were to break out, whose face would be damaged?

Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on the thug.

They discovered that these thugs were communicating in code when Lu Dashan couldn't see them.

"That's quite interesting," Su Jiaoniang said with a smile.

The courtyard was crowded and lively. As a spectator, Su Jiaoniang suddenly felt less resistant, even though she could turn from a spectator into a performer at any moment.

"Sister-in-law, it's really not easy for you. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to help your mother. All you do with your eyes is stare at men. Can't you see how busy your mother is?" Zhu Shi, who was eating melon seeds, looked displeased when she saw Su Jiaoniang staring at Lu Dashan after she arrived.

He stood up and walked towards Su Jiaoniang, cracking the melon seeds in his hand with a crackling sound. He belittled Su Jiaoniang, spitting out saliva from time to time with his words.

Su Jiaoniang took a step back in disgust, distancing herself from Zhu Shi. She stared at Zhu Shi's buttocks for a few moments, then squinted and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? You have time to eat melon seeds but no time to help in the kitchen. Could it be that the injuries from the beating you received from the county magistrate haven't healed yet?"

Thinking of her disheveled appearance, Zhu's already long face became even longer.

Everyone who came today addressed her respectfully as Madam Lu. She was so caught up in her vanity that she ended up being criticized for losing face.

Su Jiaoniang stared at Zhu Shi, thinking that this kind of heartless and brainless person was quite tough in some ways. In such a short time, she could wake up from a suffocating situation on the verge of death and still seek death again and again.

"Mother, Second Uncle and Second Aunt are here." When Lu Congrong saw Gu Xizhou, her eyes swarmed over like flies to dung.

He nudged Zhu Shi, signaling her to go and entertain Lu Dahai and his wife.

She stood in front of Gu Xizhou: "You are a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination), you should stand with scholars, come over here!" Lu Congrong smiled, and if you looked closely you could see traces of powder on her dark face.

However, the quality of rice noodles these days isn't very good.

As they speak, powder will fill the air.

Gu Xizhou took a few steps back.

Their gazes fell on Lu Daishu and a few other scholars.

He glanced back at Su Jiaoniang, his eyes questioning. Su Jiaoniang was slightly surprised by Gu Xizhou's actions. Why was he asking her? Wasn't he a free man?

However, since this person treated her with respect, she naturally wouldn't ignore him.

He nodded slightly: "Go ahead." It wasn't wrong for a prince to observe the daily lives of scholars at the bottom of society.

Gu Xizhou walked towards the group of scholars.

Su Jiaoniang's smile never stopped when she saw Lu Congrong leave with her.

“Mother, it seems that Master is being watched,” Futu said, stroking his chin.

Su Jiaoniang nodded, very worried about her son's intelligence. She said, "Yes, we've been targeted. Let's find a place to sit and watch the show."

The courtyard was crowded with people; almost everyone in the village who could be connected to the Lu family had come.

They gathered in twos and threes to talk.
